Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer by websites that you visit. Most websites use cookies and they can have several different purposes. The primary uses for cookies are to:

  • Help maintain security on the website and to allow it to function correctly.
  • Remember user information which has been entered and personalise content
  • Collect information about how the website is being used, such as actions taken and pages visited

This website uses cookies to allow better understanding of website usage and tailoring of content.

We have included in this section a detailed explanation of all the cookies we use on our site.

3.1 Cookie Classification

We use two classifications of cookies: Cookies that are defined as “strictly necessary” are required in order to allow routine, safe operation of the website.

Cookies that are defined as “not strictly necessary” are cookies which are not required for base functionality of our website, but which may be used for analytical purposes and to provide enhanced used experience.

There are four types of cookies on our websites which fall under the above two classifications, namely session cookies, persistent cookies, first party cookies, and third party cookies.

3.2 Session cookies 

A session cookie exists only while the user is reading and navigating the website. Session cookies enable users to carry out essential tasks on our site, without them the site will not function correctly. This type of cookie expires as soon as you exit the browser you are using to view our website.

3.3 Persistent cookies 

A persistent cookie will outlast a user’s session. This could be used to record a vital piece of information such as how the user initially came to this website or to record details about the last browsing session on the site. For this reason persistent cookies are also called tracking cookies.

3.4 First party cookies 

These are cookies which are set to use the website’s own domain. For example, if the website address is blog.example.com, the first party cookie’s domain will be set to .example.com.

3.4 Third party cookies 

Third party cookies are not related to or controlled by us. Third party cookies are used by our business partners.

3.5 Cookies Used

Alternatively, most web browsers allow some control of most cookies through the browser settings. To find out more about cookies, including how to see what cookies have been set, visit www.aboutcookies.org or www.allaboutcookies.org.

Remember, if you refuse to accept cookies, certain critical elements of web sites will not function correctly.

From time to time, we may need to change this cookie policy. For instance, we may need to do so to reflect any changes in technology or legislation or our data use practices. Any updates or changes that may affect how we use cookies or how you as a user can manage cookies will appear in this Policy. We encourage you to periodically review our Cookie Policy to determine the current policy in force as the updated version applies to each use of this Site.
